Review & FAQ:
Another of Jaipur city’s architectural gems, the Hawa Mahal or Palace of the Winds is located in the heart of the city, where it forms part of the famous City Palace. You can visit this beautiful palace, which was built using red and white sandstone in 1799, on several of the Jaipur city tours or simply take a walk to the area to see the wonderful façade, which is best viewed from the street. The beautiful beehive-shaped façade with its thousands of small lattice windows was cleverly designed to allow the women of the palace, including the Maharaja’s harem, to be able to watch life on the streets without being observed by those outside the palace.
